Especially if that player does not like playing in the cold or getting hit. Little bro has proved more than big bro and that is why he has multi SB rings…

——————————————————–

yea, the rare shot to tank the season to get the #1 pick. The Colts players on the field that season gave it their best but no effort was made by Polian to get the best talent out on the field. Manning was kept on the active roster well after it was clear he wasn’t playing that season. There really wasn’t any need to get someone who play on the roster? yea, right

Just another black mark on the Irsay legacy.

Wed, 16 Oct 2013 20:12:42 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2217801#comment-2872230There are too many comments on here to read, so this may have already been said, but I am giving my spin on this anyways. I think Jim Isray made the RIGHT decision by letting Manning go! Denver only needed a QB to step into an already potent offense. Indy needed a ton of help to be a contender even with Manning. $ was not there to build around Manning. Plus, when one decision could affect your team for years to come, you almost have to steer in the direction of safety. Of course he wanted to keep Manning, but he understood that could cripple his organization if even one thing went wrong or if Manning failed to meet expectations. It’s hard to logically argue against him when you consider the bigger long term picture. The Colts will only get better and soon enough be a driving force in the AFC, long after Manning retires

John Elway carried the Broncos on his back for 15 years 10x playoffs 5x to the SB 2 SB wins. It would be more if he had better defense and special teams on his side.

—————————————————

Those last 2 years with those 2 SB wins came with a team that was over the salary cap. If those prior years’ teams weren’t good enough, then they paid for what they needed.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up Jim. Sure glad you don’t own my favorite team…

Wed, 16 Oct 2013 19:34:15 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2217801#comment-2872132Wow. Can I join the writing team? People out there don’t seem to see the forest for the trees on some basic issues. If this topic is that newsworthy and confusing, allow me to cut through the chaff and get to the heart of things here for everyone.

Everyone involved is talking about everything BUT the truth about this topic, which is not complex, but apparently sensitive, relates to one thing: AGE.

Peyton was/is an older quarterback on the tail end of his career. Due to the impact of his injury absence, the team had a rare shot at a new franchise quarterback who could lead them for a decade-plus, just as Peyton did.

The promise of further competitiveness for the next ten-to-fifteen years vs. the possible inability of Peyton to return from his illness, and likely shorter remaining years of playing if he dd made the situation a no-brainer in the interests of the franchise.

There. I said it. Peyton is older. How many years he has left was in doubt but was surely going to be many less than Luck would be able to supply. Not rocket science.

But I guess we don’t like to admit that our brightest stars can age and that there’s a time, especially in sports, when they will no longer shine. We all know it, we just hate to acknowledge it.

Wed, 16 Oct 2013 19:31:08 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2217801#comment-2872117Irsay is right though…. they could have let Peyton go sooner but instead paid him a huge 30 million dollar option when they knew he was leaving anyway just to soothe his ego, as a kind of “Thank You” card, and then he stepped out the back door and politicked his way out of town.
